On Wednesday 5th July the Year 6’s were able to present a science fair to the rest of the school. The children worked incredibly hard on their group projects. They showed they were true scientists and were able to teach the younger members of our school new things! They showed an impressive knowledge of “How the World Works”, and the feedback from both the children and teachers has been extremely positive. Well done Year 6!

The last optional science project of the year was a complete success. We had a range of entries that included models, videos, games and some very detailed reports.

The rest of the school enjoyed looking at them. The standard has been set very high for next year.

Well done to everyone who took part.

Gatehouse School are currently working towards a Primary Science Quality Mark!

Gatehouse School principles of Science Teaching

Well done everyone who participated in the optional science competition. Yet again the standard was extremely high. All year groups were invited to the lunchtime exhibition. Both the children and adults were amazed at the detailed work.

Year 3 had great fun exploring different fossils in science. They were then able to create their own models from clay.

As usual the children surpassed my expectations with their entries to the optional Autumn 1 Science competition. There were films, models, power points, scrap books and posters galore! We held an exhibition of the children’s work during a lunch time and both fellow students and teachers were impressed with the quality of the work. Well done everyone!

On Wednesday 5th October, 6F took parent in a evolution workshop at the Natural History Museum. They looked at how our diverse animal and plant kingdoms reflect a changing world.

On Monday 19th September, Year 3 visited The Centre of the Cell to take part in a Teethtastic show. We really enjoyed learning more about the structure of the teeth and how to take care of our teeth.

We had a fun time participating in the games and demonstrations!
